Love these tenders… I’ve made many tender recipes, but this is my favorite… flavorful, tender and crunchy… these would be wonderful to serve for your Superbowl party… they’re already on my list… enjoy!!

Ingredients
3 lbboneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into even slices – about 5 per breast
onion powder – for seasoning chicken
3eggs
1/4 cmilk
1 Tbspvegetable oil
1/4 cflour
2 cflour
1 Tbsptony chacheres creole seasoning or cajun seasoning – more for seasoning chicken
1/2 – 1 Tbspgarlic powder – more for seasoning chicken
1 Tbspsalt – or can use less if preferred
oil for frying chicken
Directions
Prepare chicken – slice into even pieces, as similar in size as you can get. Liberally season with garlic, onion and creole seasoning, just one side and toss together.

Get out two bowls – In one add 2 cups of flour, 1 tablespoon creole seasoning, salt, and garlic powder. Whisk together.

Heat enough oil in a deep pan or deep fryer – I use my wok; to cover chicken once placed in oil. Or you can flip them as they cook, if you don’t have enough oil to cover. Heat the oil to 350 degrees.

When the oil is hot enough. Dredge chicken in the egg mixture, then coat with flour mixture. Drop into hot grease. They will float when done. ( about 8 – 10 minutes ). I always cook until golden.

Add only 8 – 10 pieces at a time, depending how big your pan is. You don’t want to over crowd; or will cool down your grease too quickly, leaving you with greasy chicken…You may want to adjust heat as you go… if it gets to be too hot, but you want it hot enough to crisp the chicken.

As each batch is cooked, drain on paper towels. While hot I sprinkle with salt or creole seasoning.
